After watching the movie “Distant Lights,” a movie about life on the Germany-Poland boarder before Poland was apart of the European Union, there was a rich discussion about immigration in the United States. This is another way we are Uniting America. By facilitating rich conversation within communities. Folks were thrilled to be there as the above photo shows. Thank you to Dank Haus for hosting this Uniting America event.
